How to Host Multiple Websites on One Hosting Account

Your VexoWeb hosting plan allows you to host multiple independent websites safely and efficiently.

Step 1 — Add the domain

Go to Account Manager → Domain Setup → Add New.

Step 2 — Upload files to the correct folder

Each site has its own folder:

/domains/domain1.com/public_html/
 /domains/domain2.com/public_html/
 /domains/domain3.com/public_html/

Step 3 — Point domain DNS

Use the same IP for all your domains:

• A → 157.180.52.85
• www → 157.180.52.85

Step 4 — Issue SSL for each domain

Go to SSL Certificates → Let’s Encrypt.

Step 5 — Create separate databases (optional)

For WordPress or other CMS, create unique databases for improved performance and security.

Best practices

• Avoid putting multiple sites inside the same public_html
• Use unique admin passwords for each CMS
• Keep plugins and themes updated
• Use Cloudflare for better security
• Enable backups using JetBackup
